Kerala Floods Relief Fundraiser

The Kerala Club of Detroit, Michigan is conducting a fundraiser with a goal of collecting  $50,000 to help the victims of the Kerala Floods.  The Kerala Club of Detroit will match 20% (up to $10,000) as part of this fundraiser. Matching funds will be coming from the proceeds of the Musical Show that was conducted by Kerala Club earlier this year.

The Kerala Club will be working with affected district authorities across the state to distribute the funds. Please visit www.keralaclub.org for more details.

The 2018 catastrophic floods is a result of the unusually severe Southwest monsoon that lashed the state for several days. 
As of August 17th, 324 people have been killed and around 800,000 displaced according to Indian officials due heavy monsoons, landslides and overflowing reservoirs. 314,000 people, including women, toddlers and senior citizens have been lodged in various relief camps across 14 districts in the state.

Kerala is called God's Own Country for its natural landscape and pristine scenery. Today Kerala requires all the help it can get to overcome this devastating floods considered the worst in 100 years.

Michigan Indo-American Forum, MI India Foundation, MI Bihar, MI Tamil Sangam and Blitz Mode are partnering with us in this initiative and have committed their help.

Recently other organizations such as Skate World of Troy, Parasakthi Temple and Sangam Indiana have reached out to partner with us for this great cause.

Our project updates are posted regularly in  our Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/TheKeralaClub/ ) ,  website(http://www.keralaclub.org/ ) and the GFM page.



Please help with your generous donations to save lives and provide the much-needed relief to the displaced people.
